RAFTER ASSEMBLY (CONTINUED)
3. With the main rafter pipes seated at each joint and the
rafter positioned on a flat surface, secure each joint
with a single self-tapping Tek screw. Position Tek screw
approximately 1'' from pipe joint.
ATTENTION: Install the screws so they will not touch
the cover once it is installed. This is typically on the
backside of the rafter, which will be the surface visible
from the inside of the shelter once the frame is
assembled.
4. Assemble all rafters as described except for two (2)
and continue with the additional steps to assemble the
two end rafters.
END RAFTER ASSEMBLY
Complete the following steps for the end rafters only .
1. Assemble the two end rafters on a flat surface.
NOTE: Do not install Tek screws into the rafter joints at
this time.
2. Slide five (5) end clamps and two (2) band clamps onto
the rafter in the locations noted below. (Do not secure
the clamps to the rafter at this time. These clamps will
be repositioned during the frame assembly when the
purlins are added.)
NOTE: Position all clamps as shown. Use a piece of
duct tape to keep the clamps from sliding when the
rafter is set in place (if needed).
3. Return to each rafter joint and secure using a Tek
screw.
